Summary

Officer Ngor and his partner pulled over a corrections officer, allegedly because the driver's windows were tinted too darkly. After the corrections officer showed Officer Ngor his Corrections Department shield, Officer Ngor tossed the shield back into the car and did not issue a summons.
The corrections officer went to the precinct and complained about Officer Ngor. The supervisor in the precinct and Officer Ngor's partner both confirmed that the supervisor called Officer Ngor to discuss his tactics and conduct during the stop.
Less than an hour later, Officer Ngor pulled over the same person, again allegedly for having tinted windows, though at the time the man's windows were rolled all the way down. The man had video-recorded the second stop, showing his windows were down.
Officer Ngor stated in his CCRB interview that 1) the shift supervisor had not called him between the two stops, although the supervisor and his partner testified that he had, and 2) that he had stopped the car a second time because he saw the tinted windows and did not know it was the same person, even though this statement was contradicted by the video recording of the stop.
The CCRB substantiated an allegation that Officer Ngor had cursed at the victim (which Officer Ngor had conceded, stating that he had told the victim to "get the fuck out of here" because that language is a "word we use all the time.") It also found that he had made a false material statement in his CCRB interview.
The NYPD disciplined Officer Ngor with a Command Discipline B. Read report for details.
